Romantic cello

Slow and passionate melodies played by John Reed, and reviewed by BASIL RAMSEY

Transcriptions of known slow and passionate melodies for the
cello [listen -- track 8, 0:00-1:14]
in matching mood makes for a collection that catches both
eyes and hearts wherever music-loving sentimentalists abide.
And undoubtedly others besides.

The cello playing here is close to the mood but the piano
accompaniment has less refinement, which sadly is a slight blemish
to the undertaking. John Reed's artistry deserves better. The recording
quality is quite acceptable.
